Fates and Furies has been...

From the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Monsters of Templeton and Arcadia, comes an exhilarating novel about marriage, creativity, secrets, and perception. Fates and Furies, Groff’s third novel, has already received advanced praise in four starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal.
At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but things under the surface are much more complicated and remarkable than they appear. Every story has two sides; every relationship, two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. Here, Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years. With stunning revelations and multiple intertwining threads, Groff delivers a deep examination of partnership, truth, and power.
Fates and Furies is already being touted as a literary masterpiece with print coverage anticipated in The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, The LA Times, Esquire, O Magazine, and more.

Lauren Groff is the author of the novel The Monsters of Templeton, which was shortlisted for the Orange Prize for New Writers; Delicate Edible Birds, a collection of stories; and Arcadia, a New York Times Notable Book, winner of the Medici Book Club Prize, and finalist for the L.A. Times Book Award—and was incredibly beloved by Bookshop Santa Cruz’s booksellers! Her work has appeared in journals including the New Yorker, the Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s, Tin House,One Story, McSweeney’s, and Ploughshares, and in the anthologies 100 Years of the Best American Short Stories, The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses, PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories, and three editions of the Best American Short Stories. She lives in Gainesville, Florida with her husband and two sons.
